THE CANAL BREAKs.-The follow.
ing from the American's Frederick
correspondent, would indicate that
the canal breaks are even more seri.
Gus than heretofore reported by us |:
"Col. Baughman stated to an Ame,i-
can correspondent this evening that
the two breaks in the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal, in the vicinity of Cherry
Run, are the most serious that have
occurred for years, and unless large
forces of workmen can be organized
at once-of which he seems to be
doubtful-navigation will be delayed
for three or four weeks. Superinten-
dent Mulvaney is already at the spot
with a small force of men, and Col.
Baughman will leave tomorrow or
next day to superintend the repair in
person."

was identified as Charles Musgrove,
of Georgetown, d. c., was instantly

in pianos are here fully described and
the remedies given. The action of the
piano is well illustrated /; the strings,

unable to stop her horse, who plunged
madly around the track second time with

be wild, and continued on around the
track, while the men shouted to stop him,
and encouraged Mile. Cassini to Keep in
the saddle.
As the horse passed the Judges stand for
the fifth time it was evident that its rider
was losing strength. Her blue-silk Jockey
